Preconstruction Team

Jeremy Olivotti | Vice President of Preconstruction

Accomplishments:
I’ve been married to my beautiful and patient wife for 21 years. Raising two teenage daughters and enjoying embarrassing them at every opportunity. I have been at Mid-States for 19 years and have been part of designing a few very exciting projects from a sketch all the way through construction. Also a Spartan Trifecta Finisher.

Off the Clock:
I coach my oldest daughter’s traveling softball team. Lead a small group at our church. Still trying to understand teenage daughters and starting to understand that I never will. Enjoy most music, the Chicago Cubs, Guinness and going to the movies. Harrison Ford once stopped at my grandpa’s house for a Brandy Old Fashioned and a sauna. Yes, Han Solo.

I enjoy tandem biking, golf and woodworking. Part way through a goal to ride all the rail-trails in the Midwest with my wife on our recumbent tandem. My family’s real last name is Zschau and it was changed because it was too hard to pronounce.

Coached my son’s baseball team for 5 years. Run my boys to all of their sporting events. I enjoy golf and playing baseball. Love to use my smoker. I am lucky to be on Earth as my mom is from WI and dad is from England. She was on her senior trip to FL and he was in the British Royal Navy and was docked in FL. That chance encounter is why I am so exceptional.

I enjoy volunteering in our area and spending time with my family. Love to play cards and games with family and friends. My favorite movie is Pitch Perfect.

When not working, I like to head to the YMCA for BODYPUMP classes, obsess over my dogs, Tucker and Jake, and spend time with my husband. I also like getting into the kitchen to try new recipes, though they don’t always turn out so well!
